Youve Got To Stand For Something

C   F   C     G   C


[Verse 1]
                                   G           C
Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along
F              C                                          G
Every one that knew him, knew which side that he would be on
   F           C             F                C
He never was a hero, or this county's shining light
              Dm              F               G                   C
But you could always find him standing up for what he thought was right


[Chorus]
                  C                                    F            C
He'd say, "You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
                                                G
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
      F                 C         F                  C
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
       Dm     Dm/E      F        F/A        G           C
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything

[Verse 2]
                                 G              C
We might have been better off or owned a bigger house
   F              C                                        G
If daddy had done more, given in, or a little more backing down
    F             C            F            C
But we always had plenty, just living his advice
    Dm            F                   G            C
Whatever you do today, you'll have to sleep with tonight


[Chorus]
                  C                                    F            C
He'd say, "You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
                                                G
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
      F                 C         F                  C
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
       Dm     Dm/E      F        F/A        G           C
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything


[Bridge]
  F                    C                   F               C
I know that things are different than they were in daddy's day
      F                  C           F             G
But I still believe what makes a man really hasn't changed


[Chorus]
        C                                    F            C
"You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
                                                G
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
      F                 C         F                  C
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name
       Dm     Dm/E      F        F/A        G           C
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything
